Bought Nex-6...pondering getting PL5 instead...?

I have just been to the store to test the 5R and I must say that the lack of an EVF is really becoming a deal-breaker for me. I found it very cumbersome to achieve good focus in MF. In AF yes I loved it, size and all - but in MF, how do you do it guys and girls? Maybe it's because I am astigmatic but I really struggled to tell whether or not I had focus when looking at the screen, even though it magnified the focus area.

Unless the AF is so good that I would never need MF I think I'll stick with the NEX6 and just deal with its bulk.

Incidently I got away from the store with a SEL18200LE which I got for €400 (returned item but not a sign of wear or even having been mounted on a camera). Now the quest becomes to shoot some pics with it and see if this is what I should bring as only lens on my vacation in Turkey this upcoming Spring. I hope it is because I cannot afford the vastly more expensive SEL18200. One month to try it out before I have to return it.
